Where: AT&T Stadium; Arlington

When: 11 a.m. Saturday

How to watch: ESPN

Now Playing:

Texas A&M update: Coach Kevin Sumlin vows the Aggies have finally settled on an offensive line with SEC play starting: Koda Martin at left tackle, Colton Prater at left guard, Erik McCoy at center, Connor Lanfear at right guard and Keaton Sutherland at right tackle. ... Four true freshmen scored touchdowns in the same game for the first time ever for A&M last week against Louisiana-Lafayette: quarterback Kellen Mond, running back Jacob Kibodi and receivers Jhamon Ausbon and Camron Buckley.

Arkansas update: The heat is on Sumlin after the Aggies blew a 34-point lead at UCLA in their opener, but it's even more intense on Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema considering a three-touchdown home loss to TCU two weeks ago, and five consecutive losses against the Aggies (including four with Bielema running the show). ... Junior linebacker Dre Greenlaw collected 17 tackles against TCU, most by a Razorbacks defender in seven years. ... Despite A&M winning five straight in the series, Arkansas leads the overall tally 41-29-3 going back to both teams' old Southwest Conference days.
